La succión de las mujeres-vampiro

This issue of *Selección Terror* ("Terror Selection") contains "La succión de las mujeres-vampiro" ("The Sucking of the Vampire Women") by Curtis Garland. The narrative opens with a vampire attack aboard a moving train. A pale, dark-haired woman with elongated fangs and sharp nails preys upon a blonde passenger in the dining car, draining her blood. The scene then reveals itself to be a film production: director Warren Kraft is shooting a horror movie for Dart International Pictures aboard the Los Angeles-Seattle train with actress Karin Stuart performing the vampire role. The production crew gathers for dinner, where Kraft discusses his desire to film additional scenes at a mysterious mansion owned by millionaire Ernst Kalutka in Seattle, allegedly modeled after a castle in the Carpathians. Cast members, including actors Sally and Glenn Ivers, express unease about rumors surrounding Kalutka and his estate, despite Kraft's skepticism about vampire folklore.
